Hey all, First off I'd like to say that it's absolutely wonderful that there is such passion for couchapps these many years later. The problems that couchapp has will only be solved if people care to solve em, which we do, so yay!
I think one of the big problems that couch-app has had is haphazardness. To me, when couch-db and couch-apps were first coming out, it seems that the community got excited about the prospects that couch gave them, and everyone ran off into different directions to explore and develop their own interests. Unfortunately, we haven't found a way to connect everyones little bit of awesomeness well. Everyones little project either matured into working systems (Kanso for example) while other systems have slowly withered away. Personally, what i'd like to see from 'couch-apps'. is the ability for a layman to be able to develop websites that use couchdb as the database, knowing only HTML CSS Javascript Couchdb Without needing the following 1) change of operating systems (couchapps should be able to run on OSx, windows, and 'linux') 2) Without the need to install other 3rd party programs(node js and such). - all the person should need to write code is a simple text editor. 3) propriety code. All the code should be open source. There shouldn't be any private ownership of code, or ideas, in any form (I think this is the point Dave was trying to make in his email). Furthermore, couch apps is going to need a central website that people can go to for information or to ask for help. So far, all the help that people have provided to each other is too scattered amongst a variety of locations (blogs, websites, email chains etc.), which minimizes the information's effectiveness unfortunately. Centralizing all that information would really benefit the community. Also, It'd really be nice if the website for couchapp was itself a couchapp, so people can clone it to their own couch, and be able to show any suggested features that they think should be implemented. Lastly, I'd like to thank all of you all for keeping couchdb, and couchapp alive. -Pete On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 6:34 AM, Noah Slater <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > We expect the mailing list to be a friendly and welcoming environment > for everyone.
